Wow, looks like this Z06 with the manual came to prepared play.

 

[ffforever]

Z06 seems to have wildly discrepant acceleration figures. I wonder if they have "high downforce" cars and normal cars...

 

[DeDe]

Wow, looks like this Z06 with the manual came to prepared play.

IMO the one that ABSC tested (the automatic) had a hardcore aero set-up for the fastest laptime on Sachsenring (it beat the 991 Turbo S by 2 seconds!).

It was lightning-quick up to 200 kph (10,2 seconds), but up to 250 it needed another 10,2 seconds.

While the AMG GT-S is the new kid on the block, and the Corvette is universally celebrated by all of the automotive press, I'm following my heart by voting for the angry Beetle.

I so want one.

 

[Mr Robert]

There are cars and then there's the 911 Turbo.

 

[Sayyaaf]

I agree 911 seems sensible choice but the turbo range is kinda souless as many reviewers said. Its fast and all but kind of muted fast not sensational fast.

I test drove it many times and I never left with a smile. I usually leave scared

 

[Betty Swollocks]

AMG GT S for me. 911 Turbo as a second choice. I wouldn't even look at the others.

 

[Fabian]

The Jag deffinettly wins the apeal contest IMO hands down, followed by the AMG-GTS.
Impressive speed reached by the Z06!! It has my vote, but not so easy.

 

[Sayyaaf]

I hate point to point performance. I want no point performer.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

I'd take the AMG GT s. The others don't really interest me.

very hardcore, if you consider 0-280 about 15s slower
...where's Guibo (and his fans) whn you need him...
very funny wet laptime too

 

[Rolf]

That Z06 is way over the normal spec, very good example for road testing, most other mags have recorded much slower performance figures. I would take the AMG GT S then the 911 Turbo and Jag F-type

 

[Monster]

Mercedes AMG GT for me, closely followed by the Z06. The Z06 is the real deal super sports car, but I prefer the AMG GT for its overall appeal.

 

[DjordjeC63]

I'd have problems to pick one car.

 

[Nelson Shirtmobile]

How does the C7 Z06 with a manual do 0-281 km/h (0-175 mph) in just 20.1 seconds? That's like 0-240 km/h (0-150 mph) in just a very little over 15 seconds.

In the March 2015 issue of Car and Driver the Z06 is even slower than the 991.1 Turbo S and the R35 NISMO.

Vette || GT-R || 911
0-30 mph:
1.6 sec | 1.2 sec | 1.0 sec

0-60 mph:
3.3 sec | 2.9 sec | 2.5 sec

0-100 mph:
7.5 sec | 6.6 sec | 6.2 sec

0-150 mph:
17.9 sec | 15.8 sec | 14.9 sec

1/4 mile:
11.5 sec | 11.0 sec | 10.6 sec

Estimates:
30-60 mph:
1.7 sec | 1.7 sec | 1.5 sec

60-100 mph:
4.2 sec | 3.7 sec | 3.7 sec

30-100 mph:
5.9 sec | 5.4 sec | 5.2 sec

60-150 mph:
14.6 sec | 12.9 sec | 12.4 sec

30-150 mph:
16.3 sec | 14.8 sec | 13.9 sec

100-150 mph:
10.4 sec | 9.2 sec | 8.7 sec

0-124 mph:
11.3 sec | 10.4 sec | 9.7 sec

((1320/mph)/mph/(mph/124)*124)+(et-(1320/mph)) = 0-124mph time; more like 199.6 km/h instead of just straight-up 200.

0-186 mph: 0-124 mph et ÷ (Vmax × 1.609344) × 1000:
N/A | 33.8 sec | 30.4 sec

In every straight-line performance aspect it's 911>GT-R>Vette in this magazine issue. In the chassis area, the Z06 is the clear winner. So the NISMO is in the middle.
